The Bristol Schools Debating Championships is a two-day online tournament in a modified World Schools format for senior students, run by EduDrift on Zoom and Slack. Five preliminary rounds on the first day, then two elimination rounds and a grand final on the second. Participation and achievement certificates carry the Bristol emblem, and every student gets a commendation letter and written feedback from the international judging panel.
Rounds run on Singapore time from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM each day, which is 4:00 AM to 2:30 PM in Dubai. Motions are released per round, so most of the debating is impromptu; our four prep hours focus on case-building under time pressure.

- 4 hours of coaching by experts

Ages 13 to 18. It suits students in the Competition Team or Debate Academy who have done at least one tournament, though a well-prepared first-timer can enter.
Is a judge required from us?
No. EduDrift provides the judges, which is why this tournament is priced below the ones where we must send a judge.
